    These were sold to me as BLB. 7-8 weeks old. I’m confused because they have a flat looking comb area. What are they? And are we thinking pullets?

    Egg shade variation from same hen

    Hi! I currently have 2 laying hens, top row is our Buff Orpington, & bottom is our Barred Rock. The BR had been laying a darker egg (far right bottom) until now, and has gotten lighter just this week, almost white now. She started laying in October 2022. Is this normal or a deficiency maybe?

    11 week old Black Copper Marans

    I just want reassurance that Knuckles is indeed a Pullet? She has so many “rooster” mannerisms. The obvi cockerel, Larry, is headed to a new home this weekend (not allowed to have roosters).

    7 week old chicks

    Do any of these stick out to you as being cockerels? I posted separate posts about my most questionable ones (Sussex, Black Copper Marans, and Light & Buff Brahma) but if you see a Cream Legbar, Olive Egger, or the Dark Brahama as being questionable, let me know. Thanks in advance! Also- Amy...

    Hens bounced when newcomers arrived

    Pegasus and Sonic don’t like the idea of new chicks. When we let the peeps out to play, they ran up 20 deck stairs, and went to the highest point to observe.
